(Former Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle is running for the Democratic nomination for Lt. Governor. His full remarks continue in the extended entry. I encourage you to read them. - promoted by Karl-Thomas Musselman)
Deciding to run for Lieutenant Governor of Texas was not easy; part of me very much wanted to continue to enjoy being the former District Attorney of Travis County.
Democracy is more than just mass action; it is the sum of individual actions. That means that it makes a difference what each of us does. I found it hard to sleep at night thinking about how far things have gotten off track here in Texas without trying to make things better for regular Texans.
That's because the world, including us, is getting worried. We're all in need of a little more light. The spirit of democracy rests on the shoulders of justice, which in turn rests on the shoulders of an informed and responsible citizenry. Responsibility in a democracy rests on all of us together, and the doing of justice is everybody's job. Please come to my campaign web site and get involved.
